Repairing delamination
Has anyone ever tried glue injection combined with a blind rivet to repair an area of delamination?

BOATS are NOT the same as RV's
1. IF you have Delam and the sub-structure is styrofoam insulation, make sure you use a water based Glue. If you use a petroleum based adhesive, you will melt all the support Styrofoam in the area that adhesive contacs the foam.
2. Trying to use Glue and screws or rivets rarely works. Any sub wood will be degraded and will not hold screws or rivets. Styrofoam will not accept screws or rivets. If the sub is good you inject the correct adhesive and then brace the wall to get the adhesive to adhere flat. Doug
